Didn't Tacomas come out in 95? Are you only buying the engine for your 90?

Waste of time, energy and money....

If you want V6 power, you won't get it with the 3.0 unless you spend $3K on performance parts... and even then, you likely will barely make the level of power of the 3.4. Skip the swap, put a header, cam, intake and exhaust on your 22re and get better mileage and similar performance to the 3.0.

Or go full out and do a 2.7 I-4 swap - cheaper, better mileage, same power as a 3.0 V6.

I agree after putting a new short block in my truck, the new cam and headers make a huge difference, I love it!
